Answer 1

Answer: D is the answer

Explanation:

Answer 2

The statement is true about whether A and B are independent eventa is fourth option:

A and B are not independent events because P(A/B)=0.375 and P(A)=0.25

Explanation:

Let A be the event that the person rides the bus to school, then:

P(A)=75/300

P(A)=0.25

Let B be the event that the person has 3 or more siblings, then:

P(B)=24/300

P(B)=0.25

P(A/B)=9/24

P(A/B)=0.375

Like P(A/B)=0.375 is different to P(A)=0.25 the events are not independent

Answer. Fourth option:

A and B are not independent events because P(A/B)=0.375 and P(A)=0.25
